I hope now that the bloom season has passed, and our attention moves to fall clean up, sales, purchases and next year’s daylily travel plans, you could reflect and agree that it was a season of fun for you, too. I know that I sure had fun traveling to Region 8 and Region 14 and sharing my enthusiasm for ADS at their regional meetings and taking part in their wonderful events. I was also full of pride to attend the National Convention in our own region, which was the epitome of fun. Over 100 old (and new) friends visited our gardens here at home and at the Community Park. Judging accredited shows in Mississippi and Tennessee added to my Year of Fun, and hosting the only accredited daylily show in Illinois with a new virtually-based club was the icing on the cake. WHAT. A. SEASON. FOR YOUR TO-DO LIST: Once again we are offering ONLINE JUDGES TRAINING for both Exhibition and Garden Judges. There are three opportunities for you to attend this free training. Dates are as follows: 2019 GARDEN JUDGES 2019 EXHIBITION JUDGES ONLINE TRAINING ONLINE TRAINING Garden Judges I - Exhibitions I – Monday, October 14 Tuesday, October 15 6:00pm CENTRAL TIME Exhibitions III (Refresher) - Wednesday, October 30 Both classes 6:00pm CENTRAL TIME You can sign up by emailing [email protected].

Each of these classes is the first step in becoming a part of two very important functions in our society. Our region is in desperate need of exhibition judges. At least two shows were cancelled this year due to lack of availability or willingness of regional judges. Please consider taking the first step in becoming a show judge. This class is awesome for show planners and exhibitors, too! It’s even great for those who are just curious about exhibiting daylilies. Garden Judges are also needed. This is the group of certified ADS members who make the decisions about most of our annual award-winning daylilies. Want to place a vote for the Stout Silver Medal? Become a Garden Judge! Many people think the board chooses those cultivar awards each year, and that is far from the truth. Nearly ALL the cultivar awards are chosen by Garden Judges from our 15 regions. Each region is allowed 20% of our regional membership as Garden Judges and Region 2 has room for YOU. Marketing needs garden writers who are interested in working with national magazines and regional publications to submit daylily-related stories. The Marketing Committee has established contact with many outlets, but we are light on material to provide. We need niche-stories with a specific point of view. Lead times are often many months in advance, so please reach out to [email protected] if you are interested in working on this outreach for publication in 2020.
